floats for beaver
Quote:

I trap a huge marsh that I use float sets on. It doesn't have well defined banks for colony traps so it's the best method. I started out using this set up but now I use a foothold at either end of the float which is much better. I only need a minimum of 1' of water for a humane dispatch.

Thanks for the info guys yea I have one smaller river system that fluctuates a lot in spring I trap beavers on so was wondering if these might be a good idea an just have em ancored with cable to the shore
|
Another option worth considering for along the shore may be a lathe set.

Lol all
Good Dave yea was just looking at some diff methods for catching beaver for few farmers I trap yotes on that want em gone so figure might as well perfect social distancing |
What HD is using , I have used something similar.....for rats.. but for beaver, they would not be stable enough for the beaver not to shy from.....unless the 330 would fall over on him, like a deadfall....haha
|
The one I’ve been looking at are like a v shape with 33 mounted between two arms
|
The V shape are the ones I tried but not in use anymore..
|
I just dont see the extra effort of packing them around worth it, when you can throw a castor mound anywhere and quickly and it's more or just as effective. I like to keep things simple and effective.
|
I agree with u kngrat they would be bulky I was thinking they might be handy for where water leaves fluctuate
